Defensive end Alex Brown gives team change of pace that benefits both lines

New New Orleans Saints defensive end Alex Brown earned praise from his would-be blockers over the last few days at the team's minicamp, with guards and tackles saying the offensive and defensive lines have benefited from the latter's offseason upgrade.

Brown relies on his strength more than his quickness, and he consequently presents a different threat -- particularly against the run -- than that of defensive end Bobby McCray, whose quickness off the ball and ability to get around the edge are his principal pass-rushing qualities, according to several New Orleans offensive linemen.
